J.B. Holmes, the long-hitting Kentuckian, who helped the United State Ryder Cup team to a decisive win over the Europeans on Sunday, withdrew Friday from the Turning Stone Resort Championship.

Holmes was one of the big stars in a strong field of 132 players that will compete for the $6 million purse next week at Atunyote Golf Club in Vernon.

Even without Holmes, there is plenty of star power as Davis Love III, David Duval, Chris DiMarco, Woody Austin and Mark Calcavecchia are some of the notable players in the field that features six major champions.

Defending champion Steve Flesch is also in the field that has four open spots that will be settled at Monday’s qualifier at Kaluhyat Golf Club in Verona.

Practice rounds are Monday and Tuesday, and a pro-am is on Wednesday. The first round is set for Thursday. Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the Turning Stone Box Office at 315-361-SHOW.
